Into the sun (Explored 27th July 2011)

            Always wanted to try and use the road as the key composition element to a photo and this was my first attempt at it. Luckily could see far enough either way on the road to avoid any cars killing me, but did spend half my time watching my back rather than setting the camera how I like haha.

Interesting thing about this road actually is that according to Top Gear (one very famous TV car show for those who do not know) this is one of best roads in Britain (in terms of how fun to drive). At the end of this road is a hill called Zig Zag hill (you can see it on the map where I marked the location of this pic) which is an awesome hill to drive on and I think the windiest bit of road in the UK. Anyway this bit of road where this photo is taken its not uncommon to see cars doing up to 80mph which meant watching my back really was important!!

This photo is only here for your enjoyment, if you would like to use my photo in anyway or would like a high quality print then please contact me through Flickr mail. Thanks
